I was able to beat Emerald and Ruby while so inebriated that I didn't even know they were defeated the next morning. Kinda unfortunate really actually because I wish they had a few more optional bosses that were more difficult. Issue with the turn based games like FFVII is that your strategy is almost entirely done before the actual battle begins.

Hey Emerald, if you had 6 more counter mimes, omnislash, anger max, doom of the living, big brawl, or any other combo limit + a few hero drinks, you could defeat those bosses in a few minutes using only limit breaks.

Wow. You guys have sooo many different tactics and combinations against the Weapons... I remember that I simply used attacks, limits and healing magic when I destroyed Emerald Weapon, and Ruby was even less of an effort. I just let Chaos-Vincent have his way with it, after two other allies were victims of Whirlsand. I did use up a few Hero Drinks though, that's basically why Vincent didn't take more than 10 damage from the Comet Rain spell.
